LURE Someone opened a brand-new “Husband Superstore” — and the rules alone are hilarious. A new shop opens where women can go pick out a husband. At the entrance, there’s a big sign explaining how it works: The store has six floors. The quality of the husbands improves as you go up. You may choose a husband from any floor… but once you go up, you can’t go back down. You may only visit the store once. A woman decides to check it out. First Floor sign: These men have steady jobs. She thinks, “Well, that’s a good start,” but heads upstairs. Second Floor sign: These men have jobs and love kids. “Nice,” she says, “but let’s see what’s upstairs.” Third Floor sign: These men have jobs, love kids, and are very good-looking. “Now we’re talking!” she says — but curiosity keeps her going. Fourth Floor sign: These men have jobs, love kids, are incredibly handsome, and help with housework. She gasps. “Wow… that’s amazing!” Still… she keeps climbing. Fifth Floor sign: These men have jobs, love kids, are movie-star handsome, help with housework, and are extremely romantic. She nearly stops… but decides to peek at the last floor. Sixth Floor sign: You are visitor number 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men here. This floor exists only to prove that women are impossible to please. Thank you for visiting the Husband Store. Across the street, the same owner opened a Wife Store. First Floor: Wives who love romance. Second Floor: Wives who love romance, enjoy a cold beer, and bring money to the table. Floors three through six have never been visited.
